Bakura woke up to a knocking at the door. He carefully got up being sure not to wake Ryou and answered the door.
"What the hell took you?" Yami asked.
"I was sleeping. Come in but be quiet my friend is still sleeping." He led them into the living room, and then Minoko saw Ryou.
"Holy Ra, that's the guy from the market!" She screamed stirring Ryou.
"'Kura?" He felt around and realizing he wasn't there jumped up.
"Thank you for being quiet, Minoko!" Bakura gave her a dirty look. Everyone else started open mouthed at their old friend, Minoko noticed.
"What? Do you all know this- what the hell?" Ryou had gotten up and kissed Bakura pushing him into a wall. "Who do you think you are?" She demanded. (An: Ryou has gotten a little bolder since he left. Just a little.)
"I think I'm the friend Bakura was welcoming back and I didn't know you had sworn off sex because of me." Bakura nodded.
"I vowed I would have no other but you." It was then that Ryou realized how much Bakura loved him and how badly he hurt him.
"I'm sorry for leaving I-" Bakura kissed him.
"I understand Ryou, it's ok. All that matters is you came back and are in my arms. Don't feel sorry, it was worth the wait, trust me." He pulled Ryou into a warm embrace and felt his tears on his chest.
Shh, it's ok. I have you now, what's done is done, you can't change the past but we can make a future together, ok? Now dry those tears, there's no need for them.Ryou wiped his tears away.
/Ok. I'll make everyone something to eat/ Ryou went into the kitchen.
"Wow, so, you've been with him all day and didn't bother to tell the rest of his friends!" Tea scolded Bakura as he started to straighten up the front room. (An: what can I say, Ryou rubbed off on him.)
"Hey what was I supposed to do say 'hello Ryou long time no see, I really want to fuck you right now but not until you go say hi to Tea?' I mean I wanted him to myself for a while. Besides I wasn't with him all day he was with Yugi and the pharaoh for an hour before he came to see me. Why did he do that anyway?" All eyes were on the tri-color haired lovers.
"He met Minoko and heard about Sophia and thought you might be married with a daughter. He came to us to find out what everyone was up to and if you were still available."
"You knew he was in town and you didn't tell us!" Tea yelled. Yugi hid behind Yami.
"We were sworn to secrecy! Ryou made us promise not to tell. He wanted to surprise you, which he did."
"So, let me get this straight." Everyone sat down while Minoko was trying to figure everyone's relationship to the newcomer that might ruin her chances with Bakura. "He's your guy's friend and your lover but he left without a word to anyone and shows up two years later when you all have finally moved on with your lives and you're just going to welcome him back with open arms? I mean if a good friend of mine left for no reason and then came back after I've moved on I'd be pissed at them."
"But you don't know why he left, see Kaiba-" There was a noise in the kitchen. Everyone got up to see what happened.
"Look at all this food!" Joey drooled. Bakura looked around.
"Yeah but where's Ryou?" Minoko smirked.
"See he's going to leave again thinking he'll come back after a while and everything be ok."
"He's not like that, Minoko. Ryou just doesn't leave without reason." Marik told her.
"He did before."
"No, he didn't, as I was saying before, he left because of what happened to him. Kaiba raped him and hurt him badly both physically and mentally. That's why I hate Kaiba so much. Ryou probably overheard you and took off thinking he wouldn't be welcome anymore." Bakura grabbed a jacket and headed for the door.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I know him, I love him." He left.
"Let me guess, you all knew that didn't you?" Everyone nodded.
"'Cuz, you're not going to get Bakura no matter what, so stop trying ok?" Malik said to Minoko. She sat down defeated.
"What do we do now?" Yami asked sitting back down and pulling Yugi into his lap.
"We eat some dessert and wait for Bakura to come back, hopefully with Ryou." Joey said heading for the food.
"Yeah, let's get something to eat." Everyone got up and followed Joey.
Ryou felt like his heart was breaking. Would he be welcome if went back? Would Bakura not want him anymore? What was he going to do? Ryou sat down on the park bench him and Bakura used to sit on and feed the ducks.
"What am I going to do? I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed and risked Kaiba getting a hold of me again. For two years all I thought about was Bakura and how my friends are doing and it turns out just fine. They can live without me even Bakura can live perfectly happy without me."
"No I can't." Ryou turned around to see the owner of his heart standing there.
"What?"
"No I can't live perfectly happy without you, Ryou." Bakura sat down next to him. "You're the reason I'm happy. When you left you took a piece of me with you. You left a hollow place inside of me and when you came back I finally felt whole again. Please don't leave again, I need you."
"But that girl Minoko hates me."
"She only hates you because you've got me. She's had a crush on me for a while and you coming back hurt her because she can't get me. Not like she could in the first place mind you. But please come back to the house. I don't want to go to bed tonight knowing you left because of her. Please." Bakura kissed Ryou's neck.
"Mmm, ok." Bakura took his hand and led Ryou back to the house.
"We're back." Bakura called into the house and ten heads popped out of the kitchen. (Ahh! Floating heads!)
"Ryou! Why did you leave?" Mai asked stepping out with Sophia in her arms. Ryou went to meet her.
"He thought he wouldn't be welcome after what Minoko said. He was honestly thinking of leaving again because he thought we could all live happily without him, even me." Bakura sat Ryou down.
"Well he's right you can live perfectly happy without him, especially you, Bakura. You don't realize how many people like you and want to be with you. I mean-" Ryou got up.
"Ryou sit your tight ass back down, now!" Ryou sat back down. "Yes true you like me and want to get with me but you don't understand, I don't want to be with you or anyone else but Ryou. When he left-Duke keep an eye on him-when he left it left me feeling empty, hollow. Only when I'm with him do I feel complete. Do you understand? He left because of a horrible experience he went through-"
"But how do you know that happened to him?" Minoko cut in.
"Because I have it on tape!" Bakura was getting frustrated.
"You recorded Ryou getting raped?"
"No he was recording a message to me when Kaiba barged in and did that."
"So it was your fault?"
"No! He-" He was pissed now.
"Bakura?" Ryou came back in.
"What?" Bakura snapped making Ryou jump. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you. What is it?"
"You don't have any strawberry ice cream, I was going to make you a float."
"Oh, no, I haven't had strawberry ice cream in a year and a half. Sorry."
"It's ok and I was recording myself and telling him how I really felt when Kaiba came in. So, it is in no way his fault."
"Oh, hey it's getting late we should go." Joey said looking at his watch.
"You're probably right Joey we'll see you later." Serenity headed for the door with Duke right behind her.
"Yeah, we got to go, bye." Tristin and Tea headed out the door.
"We'll see you tomorrow, ok?" Yami stood up as Yugi headed toward the door.
"Ok, bye you guys, it's great seeing you again." Ryou walked Yugi outside.
"Take care of him Bakura you need him more than even you know." Yami walked outside as Ryou was coming back in.
"He's waiting for you."
"Got it. Bye." Ryou came back over and Bakura grabbed him and pulled him into his lap.
"Hello." Ryou smiled and turned around facing him.
"Well hello there." Malik noticed a familiar sparkle in Bakura's eyes that he had seen in Marik's; he was currently assaulting his neck with kisses.
"Come on you two let's go we should leave Bakura and Ryou to themselves. He got up, grabbed Minoko's arm and went out the door with Marik following him obediently. "See ya." He called closing the door and leaving Bakura and Ryou alone once more. Ryou got up and turned off all the lights and put the empty dishes in the sink to be washed in the morning. There wasn't any food left thanks to Tristin and Joey. Then he came back in and took Bakura into his room and closed the door. He laid him back down on the bed and crawled up and sat on his stomach.
"Are you ready for more?" Bakura flipped him over.
"Yes, but are you?"
"Yes, let's have some fun." The lights went out and they picked up from where they left off in their sexual antics and everything around them disappeared.
Please read and review. All who read must review! It bugs me not knowing what people think of my story.
An: holds gun to head bang. I'm dead I can't think of what to write next. (Scares me because it's a first.)
To reviewers:
Mellinde: yeah but he gets rough in coming chapters…and very moody.
Otaku22: well, Sophia is very good around Bakura and she's one of the very few children he can stand. They may be older but don't look that different. The rest of the chapters are going to be on them trying to stay together.
Bourei no hikari: I'm glad you liked the lemon, there's going to be more and chapter 10 is nothing but a lemon! I bet that might make you happy. Anyway I know better than to ignore criticism, ignoring it only hurts me and why would I yell at you for be honest with me? That's what I want, for you to be honest. Oh, and do you happen to know when the next chapter to Faust is going to be posted. I hope this chapter makes you a little happier.
